Sincere Philips
All I ever asked was you to
Show me some love, kisses and hugs
No, I never had an issue
Go to the club with your boys, baby, I
Never wanted you to stay too long
Just wanted you to show me off
So won't you say my name, say my name
"If you claim you want me it ain't no thang. You acting kinda shady. ," song Sincere.
She song along to Summer Walker's playing games featuring Bryson Tiller. With the window slightly opened she blew smoke from her lips taking in the scenery outside. The ringing of her phone interrupted her focus as she answered placing it to her ear.
"Hello. ," answered Sincere.
"Hi Noonie it's nice to speak to you. ,the voice from the other side of the phone spoke, her mother Erin's voice.
"Hi mom I'm sorry for not calling like I should. I've been really busy. ," apologized Sincere, she puffed from her blunt.
"It's fine. How are you? ," asked Erin.
"I'm good, you? ,"replied Sincere releasing the smoke from her mouth.
"I'm doing great. ," said Erin.
"Where's Dad? ," asked Sincere.
"He's working. Are you coming up here for Nanas' birthday? ," asked Erin.
"Yes and Xahkeia's coming too. ," stated Sincere.
"When are y'all coming? ," questioned Erin.
"Tomorrow evening. ," replied Sincere.
Sincere phone beeped meaning she had a second call. Looking to see who it was she let her mother know she was going to call back.
"Mom I'll call you later I have to finish tidying up the house. Love you. ," rushed Sincere as she made kissy noises through the phone.
"Okay love you more. ," replied Erin also making kissy noises.

"What time's our flight? ," asked Xahkeia.
"Four o'clock so we'll make it there around seven or eight. ," Sincere finished packing the shoes she was taking.

"I have no idea I just hope my mom doesn't send Sienna or I'm calling an Uber. ," said Sincere rolling her eyes, she loved her eldest sister but she couldn't stand her being that she was Sincere's first bully.
"Right she can send Serenity. Where's she at anyway? ," questioned Xahkeia.
"Getting her last degree at NYU she'll be finished in December. ," stated Sincere proudly at her middle sister accomplishments.
"Look at us black queens with degrees a bum could never. ," Xahkeia stuck her tongue out ratchetly.
"Could never but let me go. I gotta wash laundry and pack. ," laughed Sincere.
